This is an abstract piece depicting several scenes of Tsing Yi in Hong Kong. The scenes are separated by thick and sturdy black lines, while the objects are slightly deformed and simplified. Inspired by Western painting, Wang emphasises the exploration of texture in his art. The rough, coarse brushstrokes convey the artist's expressive emotion.
